Yay more Eldar! The new additions look nice. I don't remember ever seeing those Dark Reaper exarchs. It certainly isn't the best miniature. Well better than the original Nagash lol.

Lovely painting.

As an aside - I thought the Eldar would be a race into ergonomics and OH&S concerns, those Reaper launchers look unwieldly to aim with and are sure to cause back issues. Unless you're fighting in low-G environments. Anyway, I digress, lovely painting.

Clearly the big bulgy bit is the anti grave suspensor unit making them as light as a feather.  In fact the handles don't need to take any weight they are purely to move the pointy end around until it is pointing in the correct direction :)

The first painted model of 2018 (done some terrain recently, but no actual models).  I struggled painting this guy simply due to detail and difficulty seeing what I needed to paint...but I'm happy enough.  A second Chaos Warpsmith (Techmarine) from the old metal Iron Priest model.

And the slow crawl continues.  I've finally written up a plan to "finish" my Chaos force, so I'm trying to get there...maybe 35-40 models out.  The Eldar will be a continual project and may never end.

Some new aspiring champions and lascannon marines - because I've found myself undergunned a bit lately.

I recently expanded my assault marines to 14 in order to field two units of seven (praise Nurgle and whatnot!).  I had four marines finished but no packs, so I finally received and painted up some Maxmini jump packs.  They're larger than the other packs I've used, but they fit in well --- they're also friggin' lovely and I wish I had used more of them.  Might be something worth retrofitting onto characters in the future.

Some lovely new additions to the Chaos force, Elbows.
Love the jump packs and the Iron Priest.

Quite a sizeable force you have there now.

Splendid  :)

The 'techpriest' works particularly well.

Thanks.  I'm really diggin' how the Chaos Marines are turning out, and it's fun to have a completely different force than pretty much anybody else.  I am planning a possible traitor-guard tiny army to assist them in the future.

I will be trying to do an army-wide shot sometime soon.  The Chaos aren't nearly at Eldar levels, but as a whole...it's a lot.

True, the traitor-guard stuff is based simply on the fact that there are a handful of models I'd like to paint...so not a proper force, thankfully.

And another five standard issue Chaos Space Marines.  Trying to fill out squads properly.

My third take on Obliterators...using easy-to-build aggressor kits.  I'll probably keep these guys.

I like how the Obliterators turned out. Good choice on the helmet and not having the missiles. I am not a fan of the Aggressor model but these fit your army and work well. Maybe it is because they are not bright blue or red all over.

The easy-build ones don't even have the missile launchers.  I actually replaced the shoulder pads (mostly), added the crotch armour, and replaced the power-pack vents with those inverted rods and did the helmets.  Also added a few extra hoses and replaced the flamer nozzles with melta bits...basically a lot of work and they still just look like Aggressors. :(

I'm happy with them, but end result wasn't necessarily worth the extra time I spent on them :D
